AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-Short Oral Session 6

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video includes several presentations on different aspects of women's sexual health. The first presentation discusses genitourethral syndrome with menopause and the importance of using FSFI and daily products for symptom relief. The second presentation focuses on the relationship between bowel symptoms and sexual function in women with pelvic floor disorders. It suggests that treating bothersome bowel symptoms can improve sexual quality of life. The third presentation introduces optical coherence tomography (OCT), a technology that measures vaginal epithelial thickness (VET) in women. The study found that VET decreases with age and menopause progression. The last presentation highlights the improvement in sexual function in women after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy surgery. <br /><br />In addition to these presentations, the video also includes other topics. One is a study on the impact of vaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse on sexual functions. It suggests that abdominal mesh implantation improves sexual functions while vaginal surgery may worsen them. Another topic discussed is the survey conducted to assess midwifery education and training practices for student midwives in the UK and Spain. The survey reveals an increase in education about pelvic floor function in the UK but low confidence in performing episiotomy and repair. Lastly, the video covers a study on postpartum vaginal atrophy rates and its impact on sexual function. It found that vaginal atrophy occurred in around 35% of postpartum women, regardless of lactation status.<br /><br />No credits were provided for the video.
